Hi
I would like to know if there is any funding opportunities available between now to end March 2018 for veterinarians involved in aquaculture. I intend on registering for a 4 week course in the USA to improve my skills in aquatic animal health. The deadline for payment is end March 2018. I am currently unemployed and really need funding to do this course.
